HT-5TH

HT-5TH Overview

Musikmesse 2007 saw the launch of Blackstar Amplification. To celebrate Blackstar's 5th anniversary we launched a special, limited edition HT-5 2x10 combo. Based on the award winning HT-5R, the HT-5TH has the same patented features but with a unique cosmetic - cream covering, anniversary weave fret cloth and limited edition front panel. Each unit will also come with a unique certificate. The production run will be limited to just 2500 pieces worldwide.

5 Watt, Push-Pull Design

The HT-5 power amplifier is a low powered push-pull design which produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage, but at a much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of a 12BH7 dual triode valve in push-pull configuration producing 5 Watts output, which is rich in valve harmonics and compression, sounding full and toneful even at the lowest volume level.

Two Footswitchable Channels

The guitar amplifier has two channels available for selection, a Clean channel and an Overdrive channel. Using the Volume control while on the Clean channel you are able to deliver everything from a clean sound through to a crunch tone. Alternatively you can select the Overdrive channel and again using the Gain control, change from a clean sound on the edge of breakup right through to a distorted lead tone.

ISF Control

The ISF control works in conjunction with the Tone control. It allows
you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. Fully CCW is a
more American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more
aggressive middle, and fully CW is a British characteristic which is
more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.

Speaker Emulated Output

The Blackstar emulated output design is a new benchmark for pro direct recording. This no-compromise design makes it easy to get your tone to disk and tape. You can also use it to run a line out to a PA.

Digital Reverb

The reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase the amount of reverb.
